DRC's debut was among the best performances by a corner in Week 1 according to PFF.

Here's the gameday program cover story on Derek Wolfe from the preseason matchup against Arizona.

Giants

The G-Men brought back longtime Giant Brandon Jacobs, who had worked out Tuesday along with old friend Willis McGahee and George Winn; old friend Ryan Torain was also a consideration. Jacobs is expected to be used on passing downs and in short yardage situations.

Fumble-prone RB David Wilson lashed out at Giants fans on Twitter yesterday; CB Terrell Thomas, who will be tasked with covering Wes Welker on Sunday, is coming off back-to-back seasons lost due to ACL surgeries.

Bill Parcells will receive his HOF ring at halftime on Sunday at the Meadowlands.

League News

The NFL acknowledged two more officiating errors from Week 1, including a key penalty that went against the Chargers and helped the Texans amidst their epic comeback, and a typically silly uniform issue regarind RG3's knee brace.

Player News

New England placed RB Shane Vereen on short-term IR; he'll be eligible to return a week before the Pats host the Broncos. Meanwhile, the frail Danny Amendola is already banged up and expected to miss Thursday's game against the Jets.

Tampa Bay re-signed old friend Spencer Larsen, who had been with them in camp.

Like all franchises, they have their ultra loyal die hards. Check out the Jax/KC game thread from that Jaguars forum I linked. Almost 1000 posts for that massacre.

Yes. And he smoked it, because... what?

Posted by BFF46350 on 2013-09-11 16:01:41

CJ showed more in one game than I've seen from Ball and Hillman in all of their touches combined, IMO. His ability to both make defenders miss and break tackles was pretty impressive. Once he gets better in pass pro and learns the audibles, I'd guess he'll start taking time away from Hillman and especially Ball.

Most Jaguars fans are too apathetic to be homicidal, which is really the only reason there are Zombie mating calls out there. But that offense (MJD excepted) is really worse than a dumpster fire. Their VOA for the last game is a mind-boggling -98.9%. Next worst, Cleveland´s O, with -42.7%, looks like the Greatest Show on Turf compared to that.

Kirwan´s article on the Broncos offense is great ( http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/w... ). He illustrates perfectly why defenses won´t find answers easily, or at all, really. His predictions? Teams will either try to knock Manning down, or they´ll rush only 3 and drop 8 in coverage so the Broncos´ run game is doing the damage. A great nugget is that Archie has described Peyton as a hunting dog concerning blitzes.

Posted by Goéland on 2013-09-11 15:08:00

Jags fans have really got it pretty bad right now. Nothing at quarterback and ceaseless Tebow speculation no matter how many times the team denies interest. I would be homicidal by now.

"This will be Gabbert's last best chance to prove himself, and if he fails, the team will begin the rebuilding process with their guy, not some schlub off the quarterback scrap heap who is more sideshow attraction than missing piece to a punchless offense.So, yes: Gabbert is awful. And the Jags do stink. But unless the question is "Quick, name a quarterback who would be less effective than Gabbert," the answer in Jacksonville will never be Tebow."

On the Jets´victory and Ryan saving himself:

"And while Jets fans got the week off from bashing Sanchez, Smith is still an overwhelmed rookie quarterback with no real idea of what he's doing. Yes, we know, Sanchez fits that description and at least Smith has upside. We don't disagree. It's just that Smith's upside can't overcome an offense devoid of playmakers overseen by a bumbling coach on his way out. Other than that, sure, these Jets are legit."

The blurbs about diapers and chiken wire are can´t-miss entertainment.

As long as Mike Shanahan is coaching in Washington, the Redskins name fits! They can't change the name until they fire the coach.

Or require all but the injured guy to remains on the field. No sunsutitiom except for him.

That would stop some of it

Two injuries like that would require a doctor to certify his health to return to the game. Stopping the fatties on the dL from using this to get a break.

Posted by Lonestar47 on 2013-09-11 14:34:41

What makes it triple stupid was getting behind the wheel, SPEEDING while having his dad in the car. I get the adrenaline rush of playing ball but has to be left on the field. You can not have that on the streets.

Something is wrong with this kid, who by all appearnaces is a mild mannered, intelligent young man.

Hoping John E does not throw on an extra week or two for conduct detrimental to the club.

Posted by Lonestar47 on 2013-09-11 14:28:47

Plus the completely insane large human being acceleration from DT. That type of speed from him should, like... not... be... possible.

I'd take the last DT touchdown (78 yarder) over the Welker one. The blocking on that play was great - Clady and Beadles way downfield, after Welker got the initial block. Perfectly executed.

Posted by billyricky on 2013-09-11 13:43:46

It's not that minor to be caught driving without a license for the second (at least) time. The reason he was arrested two months ago was for failing to appear in court on charges of driving without a license.

This is showing Ochocinco-like intelligence.

True. But sending in a scrub, then immediately having "injury" would be pretty obvious. Maybe the best of a bad situation...

Driving on a suspended license is a mandatory minimum 5 days in jail. Usually the charge can be pled down to an inconsequential traffic ticket, but it's a serious offense.

Posted by magster on 2013-09-11 12:21:06

I believe all four guys will have their moments. I could see Ball and CJ eventually carrying the bulk of the load. Ball will see a lot of carries in situations where we're looking to protect the football.

Posted by AldenBrown on 2013-09-11 12:08:52

My friend said, "it's like he's on the world's lamest crime spree."

The Broncos are probably wondering if they should suspend him or ground him.

Goodell has repeatedly said he would take a more stern approach with what he called "repeat offenders.'' The fact Miller was cited during a suspension has certainly been noticed by league and Broncos executives.

oh no

To so that they need time to get said last stringer into the game, then risk having him get molested by PMFM before he can dive.

Posted by ohiobronco on 2013-09-11 11:56:01

This is what I think as well. John Fox and Gase have basically said "hot hand" numerous times. I think the only way Cecil is right is if, heaven forbid, one of the guys gets banged up. He was never getting first team reps in training camp or preseason (that I remember) so how can he be trusted to "Take Over"?

Posted by nacaboose on 2013-09-11 11:54:16

That's what they say. Football's a contact sport...no tackles made the list? Really? Seems to me they concentrated on TD's and not necessarily best videography....which is why I figure they could pick just Broncos TD's.

Slap some slo-mo and fancy music on something, and it always makes it more dramatic. Hell, a sexy Rexy news conference in slo-mo could make the list....

Posted by John Tomasik on 2013-09-11 11:52:31

Eh, humans in general are stupid. Obesity/poor eating habits causes so many issues, yet how many fatties do we see nowadays? They continue to eat. How 'bout tobacco smokers? People on their cell phones talking or texting while driving?

I'm not going to bash the guy about this one. I've made my mistakes. Here's to hoping he gets a clue, straightens up to play the NFL publicity game, and comes back with a vengeance. He's just a football player; to me, it's forgivable.

Posted by John Tomasik on 2013-09-11 11:45:03

He's definitely not a thug, I haven't seen anyone say otherwise. We're in agreement, he's just being a total moron.

Posted by aLuffabo on 2013-09-11 11:41:27

That would be a great solution. Or just a certain number of plays. Then again, these cheap-asses would just send in their last linebacker on the depth chart, have him take the dive, and then sit for a while.

Posted by aLuffabo on 2013-09-11 11:40:20

Media? This is about videography, not best plays...

Posted by Douglas Lee on 2013-09-11 11:39:53

Honestly, the Broncos passing game made me forget that guy existed.

Regardless, CJ Anderson is still a question mark. A few good broken tackles doesn't make him a Terrell Davis. Nevertheless, here's to hoping that Lammey's crystal ball is working. It'd be nice to pile on more horsepower from that offense....one can never have too much. It was fun seeing the Broncos pile on the blowout for a change, wasn't it? :-)

Posted by John Tomasik on 2013-09-11 11:39:32

This. That is the most unbelievably stupid thing I've heard in a while. Especially considering he's already been busted for driving without a license, why not go get a damn license?

I can say this since my father is one... Aggies are dumb.

Either that, or you will end up high while driving a car full of chickens.

Posted by Dan Alsup on 2013-09-11 11:34:37

I think CJ is getting too much credit for Cecil, but there must be something that they really liked about him to keep him after 1 pre-season game and training camp.

As far as FF goes, my guess is that it will be a 3-headed monster, where whoever is playing well gets more work and playing poorly gets you benched. I think Moreno is the best blocking back, and he will play most against good pass rushes. I think Ball gets the goalline carries and Hillman is a change of pace back. I think the split is probably Moreno 40%, Ball 35%, Hillman 25%. I don't really see them having 4 active RBs on game day when CJ gets healthy.

Posted by Dan Alsup on 2013-09-11 11:33:00

I'd like to submit an application as Von's agent/babysitter. For the amount of money that guy will still likely draw when it comes to contract time, I'd be Von's personal on-site assistant for the next couple years.

If I was in Von's shoes, I'd make his present behavior look like an angel.

Posted by John Tomasik on 2013-09-11 11:32:20

If the game is stopped for an injury, require the player to sit out the rest of the quarter. Player safety (TM)!

Posted by ohiobronco on 2013-09-11 11:31:55

While it was justifiable to be harsh on the front office boys that were drinking and driving, I also believe it's justifiable to be harsh with Miller with his dangerous driving. He's (apparently) racked up so many traffic violations he's not allowed to drive under Colorado's generous point system, yet he continues to drive without a license and rack up more violations for CARELESS DRIVING and speeding.

Driving carelessly is putting me and my family in danger when he is on the roads.

Posted by Irony_Tag on 2013-09-11 11:30:27

OT somewhat, but I was listening to Cecil Lammey on the Fantasy Football Waiver Wire podcast yesterday and he swears CJ Anderson will be the starting and best running back on this team in the near future (obv hurt now). He claims he has more power and explosion than Ball, good receiver, and can pass protect. Basically says he's the one guy that can do it all for us instead of our current group that can do one or two things good, but weak in important areas (Ball = Pass Pro, etc.)

I'm curious what everyone thinks about this claim from Cecil? I've heard Peyton say that Ball will be a big part of the offense numerous times and I do like CJ, but will this be a 4 headed monster? Will CJ take the lead role, and if so, who gets left in the dust?

I'm asking this as a big Broncos fan but with a small interest in FF. I think Cecil is giving CJ too much credit personally, just as he finds ways to say how awesome Hillman is every chance he gets, but I would like to see someone who can run effectively and pass pro to keep defenses more honest.

Posted by nacaboose on 2013-09-11 11:26:40

I'm not trying to defend anyone, but it's possible that Von Sr. did not know that Von's license was suspended. I was also hoping that his dad was going to help get him straightened out.

Posted by Dan Alsup on 2013-09-11 11:26:19

The worst part is that he is putting the FO in a bad position. Fortunately for us Elway was the center of many negative headlines so I doubt he listens much.

All the same Von needs to stop being such a dumb shit. I mean his Dad was in the f'ing car and clearly is able to drive.

All I care about is that Von remains a Bronco for his entire career. Suspensions and all. He is no thug and I can't wait for his return.

Posted by Broncologist on 2013-09-11 11:25:40

Von's actions are showing a much higher level of dumb and greater potential to harm the team than Danny Trevathan's boneheaded play.

Posted by GmanS05 on 2013-09-11 11:24:51

Ok, I get that Welker's move for the TD is the #1 film shot for the week, but I'd think for the top 5, the media could've put 5 of the 7 TD's by the Broncos in there instead of Rice's (really?), Cutler-Marshall (was that a nostalgic move?), etc.

It's unfortunate that there isn't a whole lot that can be done about defenders faking injuries....like futbol. I'm guessing that we will see that a lot this year, and a few times on Sunday. About the only thing that can be done is to keep going up-tempo and not allow the "injured" player to return to the field.

Posted by Dan Alsup on 2013-09-11 11:22:10

Can we just encase Von in carbonite until week 7?

Posted by Mike Birtwistle on 2013-09-11 11:10:51

I agree with you that, of course, this does not make Von a terrible human being and a thug, but I do think there are two disturbing things in this story. First, it just shows a terrible lack of judgment on Von's part. Not necessarily the speeding, which might have been minor and which everyone does, but getting behind the wheel of a car when he knows his license is suspended. Von knows what a precarious position he's in right now, and to get behind the wheel of a car knowing you don't have a license just shows terrible judgment on his part, especially when there was another driver available, and it certainly reasonably leads one to wonder whether Von will be able to stay out of trouble in the future. Second, it's kind of disturbing that his father was along for the ride. I'd gotten the impression from previous stories that Von's father was trying to help him get straightened out. If he knew that Von's license was suspended, that's kind of troubling. I guess it's possible, though, that he didn't know. Von, a bit of simple advice that will get you through all of this: if it's against the law, don't do it. There, that wasn't so hard, was it?
